Google Chrome not working / Google Chrome stopped working

I had this really weird issue where google chrome stopped working on my laptop, did some search and I finally found this obscure post on google's own site asking the user to try something to make it work. Interestingly it did, the version for which the solution was written for was different but essentially the method is what is important.

The issue was that on clicking the chrome icon nothing happens, the browser does not load up, and the task manager does not show the process to be running. Not sure what triggered this though.

hey frnds i am facing same problem, google chrome loads but doesn't do anything, it don't show any error message,i have tried reinstalling it again and again but that doesnt solve the problem, i have deleted registries and making new user profile, i not getting why its not working. other side my all other web browsers are working fine firefox, opera, IE....

please google help me out, and as i can analysis that this is some kind of update or bug, please help me to fix up my chrome.

Wow.. it really worked! Granted I had to follow a different path with Windows 7, but it's been more than a day and Chrome hasn't crashed once, when before it would crash every few minutes. Thanks a TON. I didn't want to have to return to Firefox or IE.

My beloved Chrome has been on the brink as well. It loads but doesn't connect. I get an error message saying: This webpage is not available. blah blah blah Error 10 (net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED): Unknown error.

So I checked the default properties for my web browsers and it seems that even though I put Chrome as the default browser, IE8 is retaining the file extensions for .mht, .mhtml, & .url files as its defaults and won't let me uncheck the boxes in the default settings to change it to Chromes file associations. WTF? Any solutions?
